GREAT AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE 2019WOMEN CALENDAR

CLARE BOOTHE LUCE CENTER FOR CONSERVATIVE WOMEN Dear Friend,

You honor the American flag and our national anthem.

It was a great American patriot– Betsy Ross – who stitched the flag together.

Today, teaching respect for the flag is too often out of fashion.

However, it is never out of fashion at the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women and the women we educate.

We hope we touch each life like Betsy Ross did. She was a great woman role model like the women featured each month in our calendar.

You can help us too.

You can help by displaying this calendar and helping to introduce women to the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women.

This year as we begin using our expanded Center for Conservative 2019 Women Headquarters we give thanks to all the brave students who stand up to the Left and volunteer so much time to promote conservative ideas. And special thanks to the generous supporters who make all our work possible. Sincerely,

President, Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute Clare Boothe Luce center for conservative women
